Welcome to Costa Rica'a First Daily Photo Website

Tamarindo, located on the Northwest Pacific Coast region of Costa Rica, called Guanacaste, features warm surf, fiery sunsets, abundant wildlife, scenic beauty, modern conveniences, fine dining, and diverse activities. Forbes Magazine properly called it Costa Rica's most popular beach resort.

Tamarindo Daily Photo focuses on the area near Tamarindo, and at times highlights other parts of Costa Rica to share with readers a delightful country waiting to be explored on the Internet and in person.
